Question

explain coordination number.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

coordination number called ligancy , the number of atoms ions are molecules that a central atom or ion holds as the nearest nighours in a complex or coordination compound or in a crystal

Answer 2

coordination number, also called Ligancy, the number of atoms, ions, or molecules that a central atom or ion holds as its nearest neighbours in a complex or coordination compound or in a crystal.For molecules and polyatomic ions the coordination number of an atom is determined by simply counting the other atoms to which it is bonded (by either single or multiple bonds). For example, [Cr(NH3)2Cl2Br2]− has Cr3+ as its central cation, which has a coordination number of 6 and is described as hexacoordinate.
